I thought it was a good place. The bed was great. It was in a fantastic location. It is at the true heart of the entrance. The parking was easy. The room was spacious and had a nice swimming pool .If and when I return to the entrance, it is highly likely that I will rebook there.

The staff member was wonderful, but it took half an hour to find him when we were checking in at 4pm. The cleaning lady was great and brought us plates and cutlery. The whole hotel was a bit rough around the edges as renos are taking place. Lots of repairs and painting is still required and cleaning and window washing so that guests can see the lake are needed regularly. There was a bath with no taps, and that was disappointing. There was a restaurant with no tables and chairs and no chef. All the fences were a bit damaged, steps with chipped tiles, footprints on carpets, but as I stated the staff were delightful. The place just needs a manager to walk around and deligate jobs.

Only stay here if Chernobyl is fully booked. Awful is an understatement. Filthy, in poor repair, \"staff\" indifferent at best, borderline hostile. Appears to be in the very early stages of \"renovation\" - the journey ahead is a very long one.

First room 203 had mouldy curtains and no aircon.
I was moved to room 206 after complaining. Wallpaper was falling off, Toilet roll was not level and when pulling off paper it falls to the floor. Vent was hanging off ceiling. Toilet window half covered up. Hole punch in toilet door and air conditioner not stable and leaking condensation water over outside tiled patio making it slippery when walking out onto veranda.

There was no hot water as there was apparently a plumbing problem, I had to ask the maintenance workers doing something with the flooring in the room next to mine to stop at 11:30pm so i could go to sleep! Tried to call the reception numerous times the next day after I checked out at 6:30am to go to work, to discuss and sent an email all of which went unanswered! I understand this is a bidget motel, but surely there are minimum standards. Spend a little extra and stay somewhere else

THe staff were never there or available, the games room advertised was non existent, the BBQ had no gas bottle, the other residents were letting their kids jump off the roof into the pool scaring the younger children

The hotel was extremely poor - stained carpet squares, poor drainage in shower, no deadlock on door, door frames exposed, someone working downstairs outside our balcony until 10:30pm (grinding bricks), no smoking yet we could smell smoke from the lady smoking openly and continuously for hours.
Outside the hotel was also in disrepair!
There were renovations happening - too little loot late I believe!
The pool was clean and did look inviting.
Certainly not worth the money!!

Door didn't lock. Bed was broken, pool fence was broken. Very run down. Was woken early by house keeping. Would not recommend to anyone. Staff did the best they could. But place needs demolishing.

Unsafe and run down building. Understand new owners but would be beneficial to close the whole motel down before reopening when all finished.

Loud area with lots of homeless people causing a ruckus to the whole area. Made it feel very unsafe. Can see they squat out the back of property where cars are parked.

Doors falling to pieces in the room and door didn’t lock properly.

Police frequent presence at the motel, and had them knocking on doors at 1am. Marketed to be family friendly but definitely not somewhere I would ever take my family again, no matter how cheap.

We arrived at 5pm. There was a number at reception to call, which I did. The woman said it was her day off, and to call a different number. The man answered, seemingly annoyed, saying he \"couldn't be everywhere at once\"?!?
Once in the room the AC wasn't working and there was no fly screen to keep out the bugs. I called the man again, told him, and he hung up on me! I sent him a text and he told me, curtly, to put the card in the slot to get the AC working, which it did.
The balcony door did not lock.
The \"renovation\" was laughable. Light fitting and old AC outlet in the bathroom were hanging out of the ceiling. Mould on the ceiling. Door on the robe missing. Holes in the walls. Ice bursting out of the freezer. Drapes hanging off their fittings. All this for almost $300 for one night.
Easily the worst place I've ever stayed.

There were a lot of renovations happening and they what had been done want dinner very well. The shower drained very slowly so had to keep turning the shower off so it could drain and not flood the bathroom.

Ac worked.
View of water.
balcony windows and doors construction were really bad. plexiglas was added to fill in the gaps. this wasnt secure.
Bed sheet cover was dirty with some sort of fluid stain.
Mold in the bathroom.
Kitchen looked average (we didnt use it)...during the \"renovations\" they have painted over the sunken kitchen lights.
Floor wasnt vacuumed or if it was they hadnt done a good job. the wardrobes had leftover like hand rails or bathroom towel rack.
Looked like some pretty shady people hanging around in the back carpark. Cars driving a couple of meters past the front door doing 50km/h.
Staff were nice.
